Valspar
Macaw
8003-48D
Because the value sits in the deeper middle range, it needs decent daylight if used on every wall. White trim sharpens the color. Warm brass can bring out the violet side. Beige carpet may dull it, so sample near the floor.

Macaw in Different Light
Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV
29.0LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
